You know when they say Nigeria is too big for anybody to mess with, a lot of them don’t get it.

Tinubu thought he can mess with Nigeria because he planted crooks in strategic places to help him rig election but he’s in for a shocker.

Right now, the northern powerbrokers are not with him. So are the talakawas.

The Igbos are not with him.

The youth would rather drown in the Atlantic than support him.

Let’s see how far he can go.

All these rantings just for the Igbo man to take his place beneath the Fulani in Aso Rock.

Still feeding the monster.

Only an insane country suffering from a myriad of security challenges that include kidnapping, would allow every new car owner to be using tinted glasses and windows.

Only a government not ready to bite, would allow Nigerians to be stocking up foreign currencies in domiciliary accounts and trading foreign in every nook and crazy of the country.

A country obsessed with foreign currency and still enabled by the government.

If I check well, I'll find you on twitter leaving your account details on numerous threads, seeking giveaways, just like the multitude of your unfortunate Ronu bastards!

It is not my fault that you were foolish enough to vote an incompetent, old buffoon into governance all because of your repulsive tribal inclinations. So don't come here to rinse your frustrated garments in my bucket of delight.

Geddifuck away from me, you cow!

You mean virtually all Igbos voted the Igbo candidate out of love for Nigeria, but some Yorubas voted a Yoruba due to repulsive tribal inclinations?

I reckon Peter Obi is incompetent for advocating the same subsidy removal and free market trading of currencies that you are now lamenting about and still claiming it delights you?

How many children have been sold by poor families in your village to your delight?

It is for this same wickedness that you sons of Nzeribe will always meet failure in national politics.

kestolove95:
Tinubu is more concern about moving cbn to Lagos than the naira fall.....somebody that came with yoruba agenda has nothing to offer...

This illiterate does not even understand the reason why certain departments of the CBN are being moved for the overall efficiency of CBN for the benefit of the country.

But like a drunk illiterate vomiting rubbish at a beer parlour, he claims CBN itself is being moved to Lagos because of a Yoruba agenda.

The SSS should focus on our security problems.

They are not there to find solutions to the problems faced by politically exposed persons.

They should find solutions to the terrorism and criminality that is engulfing the country.

BoldBrainz:
Much as it hurts to see Nigerians suffering so immensely without let or succour, I cannot pretend to feel sorry for Tinubu.

Karma serves as is due. He deserves everything he is getting. He'll be lucky to finish this one term in one piece because the machinations being formed against him are enough for his own wife to be enjoining Nigerians to pray every week..😂

So you are happy that machinations are being formed against a President that is not suffering from the machinations while you are?

The miserable life of an election loser.

arantess:
So why are your people shouting "Ebin pawa oo" if tinubu has solved their problems?
Pull out your head from arse...

Where did I allege that an 8 months old government has solved our problems?

Mental slavery is the worst.

When people have become so enamoured with the mindset that life must be better away from their home that is not fighting a war and for which they are not refugees seeking an escape, then let them face whatever comes to them in their illegal journey.

They are prey for the hunter since they have decided to venture into the forests.

Awalokan normally 🤡

Una enjoy Wetin una order for tire.

Peter Obi is learning the lesson you people wanted to teach him.

Fools!

He has already been taught a lesson by his defeat, just like every other losing presidential candidate in the last election.

The government of Bola Tinubu does not revolve around teaching a lesson to the election losers, but providing a solution to the myriad of problems that Nigeria has been facing and still facing.

Stop keeping your brain stuck in the Obi 2023 campaign mode.

Besides, you are already campaigning for him to serve as a boy under his master Atiku in 2027.

chopnaira:
Obidients are the real hypocrites. You praise Peter Obi for what you are condemning Tinubu for.

Ps: Calling someone Mumu is a violation of Nairaland rule 2.

The irony is lost on him.

Nonexisting1:
This mugu is quoting Peter obi to buttress his ekuke economic analysis. The same Obi they have been attacking on his economic policies and arguments is now correct all of a sudden. Bunch of hypocrites

I am showing you that you lots are the hypocrites who are criticising a situation that was already expected by all the frontline Presidential candidates, including the hypocritical critic, Peter Obi.

All you have proposed is suggestive that there is too much dollar hoarding and trading ongoing within Nigeria, that the government ought not to allow.

That is my only disillusionment with the Nigerian government. The Tinubu regime is not biting enough.

Stop barking and start biting.

mcbreeze:
Our President is enjoying in France, when the country is on fire. Shameless shit hole

Continue buying up foreign currencies you are not spending in Nigeria, and be expecting the rate to fall.

It is the law of demand and supply at play, when there's no dollars to stock up, everyone will keep their Naira.

The government has allowed a free trade determined by market forces.

Ok.

Congratulations to him.

If he someday becomes Governor of Lagos State, I hope he will not domicile the state funds in a bank he was previously the Chairman and has major interests.

We know a certain "Saint" who was fraudulent enough to do so.

What happens in SouthAfrica is not our problem, as I believe they have their own journalists to report the news locally just as our Nigerian journalists are also doing same.

The government of Nigeria must be responsible for the lives and safety and livelihood of Nigerians.

The government should provide a solution fast to the security lapses we have always had, and which a lot of criminals and terrorists are now emboldened to exploit.

They are just waking up to commonsense measures that should have been taken since.

Nigeria is the only developing country with potential for greatness, that still allows citizens to be holding foreign currency in their local bank account, and allow the free trading of foreign currency in every road side kiosk.

By now, all domiciliary accounts should have had limitations of $10,0000, that should have a 3months limit to liquidate to below $2000 once foreign remittance has ceased.

And prohibit all transfers between Nigerian domiciliary accounts, such that the funds can only be exchanged by the bank hosting the account.

longetivity:
This dude is the worst CBN Governor in the history of the world.

Worse than Emefiele?

Who despite not floating the Naira, still managed to move us from N160 to N750 to a dollar?

About 500% devaluation.

Naira has been floated.

The government is not interested in defending the exchange rate with scarce dollars.

When we are ready, both government and the people, we will detach ourselves from our fascination with the dollar exchange rates.

You are nothing but a fool. People like you should not have access to phone because it is a waste... 70% of all you use in this country is imported with dollar and your brain with which you used to type this can't articulate that there will be increase in price of commodity. Don't you know that fuel is imported in dollars? Gas, disel... Better respect yourself. Once our currency has no value the mass will suffer because Nigeria is not among the country that produce rather we consume.

You huffed and puffed and still concluded on the same problems I identified.

Emotions over logic.

Willie2015:
Exchange rate will affect cost of living in Naija..
Cos we dont produce...
Most machines are procured from overseas....
U need to import tractors ... spraytubes... driptapes...
and other modern farm equipments... from India..china etc
In fact some of our seeds are imported...

Good points.

These are the things any Nigerian government should worry about resolving, apart from increasing the minimum wage to ensure needs can be meet and savings made.

Let the exchange rate take care of itself.

jackpot:
You are a big PHOOOL and an IGNORANT FOWL

The Tilumbu government cannot pay people salaries enough to cater for the rise in the cost of living caused by the exchange rate, and you said we should look away.

Why should exchange rate of the dollar cause a rise in the cost of living inside Nigeria?

That is the problem the government needs to address.

Eliminate importation of the commodities we should never be importing, like our fuels.

Are we importing agricultural products?

Boondocxs:
Are you not ashamed of your self
Minimum wage is 33k is that amount enough to feed for a month talk more of savings and investment
How long will you keep lying to yourself

Are you not ashamed that you could not comprehend my simple post, nor realise that it is a call to the government to ensure that whatever a Nigerian is earning in Nigeria, it is enough to provide for the needs and necessities, while still having enough to save and invest for the future?

Once that is achieved, who cares about exchange rate to a dollar that you are not spending in Nigeria?

Tinubu made it clear that the dollar should trade for whatever value those who are demanding it are willing to pay for it.

The question then is why are Nigerians so concerned about the naira value of the dollar?

The exchange rate is not a value of our local economy.

We were never a bigger economy than the USA when our Naira traded higher to a dollar on the 1960s and 1970s.

The UK is not a bigger economy than the USA despite the exchange rate between the British Pound and the US Dollar.

The government should focus on our local economy and achieving local sustenance, and ignore the exchange rate speculators.

As long as the average Nigerian can get all their needs and have enough left for savings and investments for the future, the exchange rate would be nothing but a number, just as it was when we had a higher exchange rate but a poorer economy compared to the US economy.

accordadoga21:
Hehehehe

Ebi n pawon.

They keep suffering, boasting and smiling as if they are not affected by the harsh economy and na dem hungry pass.

When they hear a dollar is #5,000 and a liter of fuel is #3k, they start rejoicing as if they are not affected meanwhile awon lebi n paju

Hahahaha!

They are fastidious and steadfast hypocrites.

The purest form that has no alternative.

Bobloco:
Those internet wildebeests have been condemned to always castigate Peter Obi, who's just a private citizen.

You mean the way Tinubu was a private citizen since 2007 till 2023, yet your ilk never spared him of your castigations?

Hypocrite!

Validated:
Why are scared of Peter Obi's popularity? Before 2027, no sane Nigerian will vote for a confused Tinubu and his failed APC. In 10 months, Tinubu has succeeded in devaluing Nigerian life by 400%. By 2927, when $1will be N6000, Nigerians will be the ones campaigning for Obi.

Obi is not the only politician that Nigerians can campaign for as an alternative to the APC government.

We know he did nothing spectacular as Governor, so you Igbos need to calm down on the messiah image you are desperately trying to whitewash a man that was infamous as a wicked and visionless Governor.

Bobloco:
I hope you know that Obi hasn't lost a single voter; in fact,  he has garnered more votes than any of the presidential candidates that contested the 2023 presidential election.

And he has garnered more votes to become President of the Nigerian Congratulations Council now, while serving as Atiku’s boy in 2027.

He has learnt from his mistake, that a boy should only serve and not punch above his weight.

APCNig:
We will humiliate them again. We run this game. Meanwhile, no Igbo man will ever rule Nigeria

Atiku’s case is that disgrace is never enough for him.

He needs to be disgraced consistently to feel he is doing something worthwhile.

An Igbo man will surely be President of Nigeria someday, but not in this political era and his name will not be Peter Obi.

Okoroawusa:
To think that those that were vehemently against Tinubu because of age are seriously considering an 81 old Atiku in 2027... make I just laugh

That is hypocrisy on colos.

10mobile:
Why not? I know that we've been conditioned to think that Atiku can't deputize again. But, is it against our constitution to be a Vice President twice? Or, is a former Governor actually inferior to a former VP as some people seem to think?

My only problem with Obi/Atiku ticket is that Obi will have a similar problem that Obasanjo had with Atiku.

As for Atiku/Obi, it's a no-no for me because that would be a waste of Obi. If Obi accepts this, he'll lose my support.

What about you? I'm only addressing the honorable Nigerians known as 'Obidients'. Anyone else, kindly stay away. Thanks.

Oh! So you saw that shameless Penguin in his reply to my post.

ObI will forever be Atiku’s boy, and the shameless Obidients will have no choice than to accept the arrangement.

They have become so accustomed to making a messiah out of politicians who are looking for Special Purpose Vehicles.

Atiku and his girl Adaobi, are desperate politicians who are ready for any arrangement to actualize their desperate ambitions.

Atiku’s defeat to Tinubu is so painful to Atiku that he will never get over it, even if he abandons Dubai and relocate to Nigeria so he can get his dying wish to rule Nigeria even if for 1 day.

He will continue to toil in vain with his boy, Adaobi.

Bobloco:
I feel your pains bro

And you got a long day

You mean Obi waiting to become President and queueing behind Atiku again?

Desperation at its typical best and who better to demonstrate it than its 2 most prolific desperate politicians.
